Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake

About
"Ruri" is also the name of a color combination (kasane no irome) used in the layered robes of the Heian period. Its scene of sea and sky joined together expresses the future that Wakamusume aims to create. It has a solid, well-rounded flavor, yet its clean finish makes it a sake that complements meals. Although this is a year-round product, it takes advantage of small-batch brewing and year-round brewing (shiki jozo), with subtle variations made to suit the season of release. Recommended serving temperature: 10–15°C (chilled to lightly chilled)
